I bought a new m.2 ssd and windows 10 because somehow when I built my new computer and recycled the old m.2 ssd from my old computer windows corrupted (even though I deactivated windows on the old computer and reinstalled it in the new one).
I first tried wipping the m.2 ssd with software like DBAN. But That failed even when turning of UEFI mode. So i just decided to skip the hassle and buy a new m.2 ssd and windows version.
Now im wondering if I install the new m.2 ssd and windows on it and select that as my boot drive, will I be able to plug the old m.2 in as just a storage drive and format it in a regular way and delete the windows operating system? Or will windows still prevent that? I don't care about the operating system dissapearing but I don't want to throw away the SSD.
Sorry for the long question and thank you in advance!
